About Us Since 1980 our goal has been to introduce fun loving people to the exhilarating sports of small boat sailing and windsurfing. Sailing is an inspiring experience for people of all ages. Sailing can be an individual sport or enjoyed with family and friends. Sailing can be calm and relaxing or fast and exciting, the wind decides. Mother Nature provides the playground and free power; learn to harness the resources in this environmentally safe sport. Whether you like a relaxing lazy cruise or a fast competitive race, all sailors begin with the same basic skills. With a foundation of the basics our students build a lifetime of enjoyment. |
